Abstract

An automatic switching on of the dipped beam with tail lamps in the travel operation of a car/truck, with the necessary switch-on duty, is described. The brightness tester switches in the travel operation of a car/truck with the required light conditions, to which belong especially the incipient evening twilight, light conditions with fog or arising with travel through a tunnel or forested areas. The afore-mentioned automatic switching on of the dipped beam is to take place directly. Additionally, an optical/acoustic signal of short duration is to occur on the dashboard. Now by a further circuit in the cockpit (manual circuit on the dashboard), the car driver can determine before the start of the journey whether only with the mentioned visibility conditions does the optical/acoustic signal on the dashboard indicate that the driving light is to be switched on.

Description

Die Erfindung gehört in den Bereich der Automobilbranche.The invention belongs in the field of the automotive industry.

Bekannter Stand der TechnikKnown state of the art

Die automatische Einschaltung bei Dämmerung von Glühbirnen in Gebäuden mittels eines HelligkeitsprüfersAutomatic switching on of light bulbs at dusk Buildings using a brightness tester

Problemproblem

Die Wirkung die mit der Erfindung erzielt werden soll, ist das Führen eines Personenkraftwagens (PKW und Lastkraftwagens (LKW) zu vereinfachen und die Sicherheit im Straßenverkehr zu erhöhen.The effect to be achieved with the invention is that Driving a passenger car (car and truck (truck) to simplify and increase road safety.

Dieses Problem wird durch die im Patentanspruch 1 + 2 aufgeführten Merkmale gelöstThis problem is solved by the in claims 1 + 2 listed features solved

Vorteil der ErfindungAdvantage of the invention

Ein Sicherheitsaspekt für den Automobilverkehr. Die bemerkbare Vergeßlichkeit, das Fahrlicht einzuschalten, wird reduziert. Bei den o. g. plötzlichen Veränderungen der Lichtverhältnisse wird Sicherheit gewährleistet.A safety aspect for automobile traffic. The noticeable Forgetfulness of switching on the headlights is reduced. At the above sudden changes in lighting conditions will Security guaranteed.

Weitere Ausgestaltung der ErfindungFurther embodiment of the invention

Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist in dem Patentanspruch 2 angegeben. Die Weiterbildung nach dem Patentanspruch 2 ermöglicht nun noch eine zusätzliche Technik vor Fahrtantritt zu wählen, ob lediglich akustische/optische Signalgebung im Cockpit erfolgen soll. Somit erfolgt die direkte Fahrlichteinschaltung dann nicht.An advantageous embodiment of the invention is in the Claim 2 specified. Continuing education after Claim 2 now enables an additional technique Before starting the journey, choose whether it is only acoustic / optical Signaling should take place in the cockpit. Thus the direct one takes place Driving lights are not switched on.

Claims (2)

1. Automatische Abblendlicht-Einschaltung mit Schlußleuchten (Fahrlicht) im Fahrbetrieb eines Automobils- Personenkraftwagen (PKW)/Lastkraftwagen (LKW) - bei notwendiger Einschaltungsplicht.
Der Helligkeitsprüfer schaltet im Fahrbetrieb eines PKW/LKW bei den erforderlichen Lichtverhältnissen, hierzu gehören insbesondere die einsetzende Abenddämmerung, Lichtverhältnisse bei Nebel oder die sich ergebenden Lichtverhältnisse bei Tunnelfahrten oder Fahrten durch Waldgebiete.
Das oben genannte automatische Einschalten des Abblendlichtes soll → direkt erfolgen. Zusätzlich soll am Armaturenbrett ein optisches/akustisches Signal von kurzer Dauer erfolgen.1. Automatic low beam activation with tail lights (driving lights) when driving an automobile, passenger car (truck) / truck (truck) - if a mandatory switch-on is required.
The brightness tester switches when a car / truck is operating in the required lighting conditions, in particular, this includes the onset of dusk, lighting conditions in fog or the resulting lighting conditions when driving through tunnels or driving through forest areas.
The above-mentioned automatic switching on of the low beam should be → done directly. In addition, there should be an optical / acoustic signal of short duration on the dashboard. 2. Automatische Abblendlicht-Einschaltung mit Schlußleuchten (Fahrlicht) im Fahrbetrieb eines Automobils - Personenkraftwagen (PKW)/Lastkraftwagen (LKW) - bei notwendiger Einschaltungspflicht nach Anspruch 1 mit der Erweiterung folgender Wahlmöglichkeit, so daß nun durch eine weitere Schaltung im Cockpit (manueller Schalter am Armaturenbrett) der Fahrzeugführer/die Fahrzeugführerin vor Fahrtantritt bestimmen kann, ob lediglich bei den genannten Sichtverhältnissen das optisch/akustische Signal am Armaturenbrett darauf hinweist, das Fahrlicht einzuschalten.2. Automatic low beam activation with tail lights (Driving lights) in the driving mode of an automobile - Passenger cars (cars) / trucks (trucks) - if the obligation to switch on is required according to claim 1 with the expansion of the following option, so that now by another switch in the cockpit (manual switch on Dashboard) of the driver Start of the journey can determine whether only the above Visibility the optical / acoustic signal on Dashboard indicates that the driving lights should be switched on.
